Gear Jammer

Lyrics

I'm a gear-jammin' buddy, I live on short-order dinners As a semi-driver, I ain't nothin' but a winner I like my highways straight, and my women with curves I'm a hundred forty pounds of nothin' but nerves My air-horn's a-blastin', my wheels've got spinners I'm a gear-jammin' buddy, I live on short-order dinners I'se drivin' my semi the other night When I switched to my high beams and saw quite a sight It was a chick on the shoulder, with the flat-tire blues I slammed on my airbrakes, I had nothin' to lose The way I stopped, it made the highway thinner I'm a gear-jammin' buddy, I live on short-ordеr dinners I jumped from the cab and I startеd runnin' back When outta nowhere come a big Cadillac Uh, three mugs jumped out, and they each had a gun From the looks on their faces, aw, I wanted to run It was a frame-up, I was shakin' like a sinner I'm a gear-jammin' buddy, live on short-order dinners Well, a blonde with a flat took my wallet away She turned to the others, and she said, Okay Then they jumped in the Cad, and they wheeled down the road Could I catch 'em, in my semi, with my heavy load? I'se loaded up with paint, and a lotta paint thinner I'm a gear-jammin' buddy, I live on short-order dinners I jumped in my truck, and I started to chase And I'se closin' in behind 'em; man, what a race I started passin' on the left, and I cut in close And the Cad left the road, and met a telephone post I thought again of that blonde, I wish I'd never seen her 'Cause the wallet had the dough to buy my short-order dinners I wheeled on out 'cause I didn't wanna linger But the cops got the mugs, and they pointed the finger Their story hit the paper, uh, the very next day And my boss cut me off without severance pay The case went to court, and the blonde told a story The woulda made a saint sin, and would've faded Old Glory But the all-male jury believed she told the truth And up popped the judge, and in fell the roof He said I'se bad, and to prove his point I got a hundred-dollar fine, and a month in the joint Well, if you drive a rig, I got a message for you Keep your truck on the highway, and your eyes on it too
